00:16There is a town in Maine, like a room, welcome to Storybrooke, where every storybook character
00:22you've ever known is trapped between two worlds. Evil Queen sent a bunch of fairy tale characters
00:28here. And now they don't remember who they are. Victims of a powerful curse. Everything you
00:33love, everything all of you love, will be taken from you. Only one knows the truth, and
00:39only one can break her spell. It's your destiny. You're going to bring back the happy endings.
00:44Enjoy your stay.
01:03I wish, I wish, but nothing changes. I wish I was better at wishing. Alas, will no one
01:16I will slay this fearsome dragon and win my hand in merriam.
01:22Ah! I will slay the fearsome dragon, my lady, for nigh try.
01:31Goodbye, dear prince. It was nigh snowing you.
01:42Who dares disturb my sleep? He went that way. And I flew that way.
01:51Quite a good idea. You flew that way, and I flew.
01:58Whoa, whoa, whoa. Careful, careful. Don't let those coins roll away. No, they might disappear.
02:04Whoop, whoop. Look at that.
02:10Oh, a cricket. I love crickets. Crickets are trouble. Noisy bugs.
02:15But they get to do whatever they want. Hopping from place to place. They're free.
02:20You're free? To do what we want. To be who you are.
02:23And you are who you are. Well, maybe I want to be something else.
02:26Maybe I don't want to steal. Maybe I want to be good.
02:29All that from a cricket. Told ya. Trouble.
02:32Good is another word for weak. Let us do the thinking for you.
02:36That's what parents are for. To help you.
02:38You are who you are, and there's no changing it, Jiminy. Right?
02:42Right. Right.
02:45Problem solved.
02:53You weren't always a cricket. I weren't always... Oh, right. Because, um...
03:00Because you think I'm Jiminy Cricket. Why... Why do you... Why do you think that, Irene?
03:06It's just because of who you are. And who am I?
03:09Your conscience. You help people see right from wrong.
03:13So all of the crickets in Starbrook, they were once people too.
03:18There aren't any crickets here. Listen.
03:24Maybe it isn't light enough.
03:26There's never been crickets here. You've just never noticed.
03:30So you think that's proof that there's a curse?
03:33Yes, but I know it's not enough. I'm looking for more.
03:38So, Irene, look. I asked you this once before, and you said you'd think about it.
03:42Why do you think it's so important that this is real?
03:50It... It just is.
03:52All right. Well, keep thinking about that answer, Henry.
03:56Because I think there's something buried there.
04:01A tie. You know you don't have to dress a woman as a man to give her authority.
04:06So you think you can get people to do what you want in that red coat?
04:08I'm getting you to do what I want right now.
04:12Well, at least wear the badge. Go on. Take it.
04:14If you really want to be a part of this community, you have to make it official.
04:18Let's go.
04:20Let's go.
04:35Let's go.
04:37Let's go.
04:40Let's go.
04:44Everyone, step back, please.
04:46Is that a crater?
04:47No, there were tunnels.
04:48Oh, my.
04:49Something collapsed.
04:50Sheriff, set up a police perimeter.
04:52Marco, why don't you help with the fire department?
04:54Ms. Swan, this is now official town business.
04:57You're free to go.
04:57Well, actually, I work for the town now.
05:01She's my new deputy.
05:06They say the mayor's always last to know.
05:09It's in my budget.
05:11Indeed.
05:13Deputy, why don't you make yourself useful and help with crowd control?
05:20People of Storybrooke, don't be alarmed.
05:23We've always known this area was honeycombed with old mining tunnels.
05:26But fear not.
05:27I'm going to undertake a project to make this area safe.
05:31To rehabilitate it into city use.
05:34We will bulldoze it, collapse it, pave it.
05:39Pave it?
05:40What if there's something down there?
05:42Henry, what are you doing here?
05:44What's down there?
05:45Nothing.
05:45Now step back.
05:47In fact, everyone, please, please, step back.
05:52Good job, boys.
06:01What was that?
06:02Henry, enough.
06:04Listen.
06:05This is a safety issue.
06:07Wait in the car.
06:09Deputy Swan, Sheriff Corden, off the area.
06:25Hey, Archie.
06:27Over here.
06:34This requires all of Operation Cobra.
06:38Both of you.
06:39I didn't realize I was in Operation Cobra.
06:41Of course you are.
06:43Of course you are.
06:43You know everything.
06:44We can't let her do this.
06:46What if there's something down there?
06:47They're just some old tunnels.
06:49That just happened to collapse right after you get here?
06:52You're changing things.
06:54You're weakening the curse.
06:56That's not what's happening.
06:57Yes, it is.
06:59Did you do anything different today because something made this happen?
07:06Henry, I told you to wait in the car.
07:10Deputy, do your job.
07:14Dr. Hopper, a word, please?
07:16Yes.
07:20Okay, we're done with this.
07:23Uh, excuse me?
07:24My son.
07:26We need a new treatment plan.
07:28Everything I do he thinks is part of some horrible plot.
07:31I can't cover up a safety hazard without him thinking I'm hiding something.
07:34How am I hiding something terrible in an old mine?
07:38How is any of this logical to him?
07:40He's got an amazing imagination.
07:41Yes, that you let run rampant.
07:42Well, I think it'd be wrong to rip away the world it's constructed.
07:45I'd rather use it to try and get...
07:46Sometimes I think you've forgotten.
07:49You work for me.
07:52You're an employee.
07:54And I can fire you.
07:57This is my town.
07:59You will lose your office, lose your house.
08:01I can cut you down to size until you're a tiny shrunken little creature.
08:04And this will be the only roof over your damn head.
08:13What would you have me do?
08:16You take that delusion out of my son's head.
08:21And you crush it.
08:41Come on, Jiminy.
08:44We're out of line.
08:46Well, I remember this place.
08:48Looks like it's been a good year.
08:50You can tell by all the fat people.
08:53Maybe we can run the elf tonic scam.
08:55Yeah?
08:56Well, can't we just put on the show?
08:58We make enough in the ticket sales.
08:59Do we have to steal, too?
09:00We don't need to, but it's nice.
09:03We steal from them, and they steal from someone else.
09:06It's called an economy.
09:07We're a vital part of it.
09:08Oh, change.
09:09I want to quit.
09:10Oh, this again.
09:11No, you can't leave now.
09:13We're getting old.
09:14It's my hip.
09:15My liver.
09:16I've got lumps in strange places.
09:18I've got burning sensations.
09:19You better stay with us.
09:20Just until we die.
09:21Now, be a good boy and set up.
09:38Perfect!
09:39Wow!
09:40What a great job you have!
09:44You don't like it?
09:46No.
09:47No, I don't.
09:48Same show, same fairs every year.
09:50Well, then why don't you do something else?
09:55This is just who I am.
09:58What, did you just come out here to watch us set up?
10:00No.
10:01I came out here to listen to the crickets.
10:04Oh, crickets.
10:06I haven't listened to the crickets in a while.
10:12Hey, you better get home or you're gonna catch a cold.
10:14So are you.
10:15Here, have my umbrella.
10:17I don't live far.
10:24I can't wait to see the show!
10:26I can't wait to see the show!
10:26I can't wait to see the show!
10:50Sure, of course.
10:53Hey, have a good session, Henry.
10:57Hey.
10:58Are you recruiting Geppetto for Operation Cobra?
11:01You think Marco is Geppetto?
11:03Sure.
11:03He's Jiminy Cricket's best friend and Marco's yours.
11:07Henry, look.
11:08We really need to talk about this, okay?
11:10I know you're not convinced, but I know where I can get proof.
11:14What is this?
11:15The flashlight?
11:16The candy bars?
11:17Oh, wait.
11:18Henry.
11:18Henry, you do not want to go down there.
11:20Emma's here and stuff's happening.
11:22I have to look at it.
11:23Henry, Henry, stop.
11:24Stop.
11:25There is no proof.
11:26Look, all of this.
11:27All of this is a delusion.
11:29Do you know what a delusion is?
11:31I think so.
11:32It's something that's not real and not healthy.
11:35And I thought that you'd outgrow this, but Henry, you know, now it's turned into a psychosis.
11:39Do you know what a psychosis is?
11:41That's when you can no longer tell what's real.
11:43And if that continues, then I have to lock you away.
11:47Henry, look.
11:48This has to stop for your own good.
11:50You gotta wake up.
11:52This nonsense must end.
12:12I don't know.
12:13Em?
12:14Mm-hmm.
12:16Two of them.
12:21Get it yet?
12:22Yes.
12:23And I'm completely mortified.
12:25I almost hanged on my own name.
12:26Don't worry.
12:27I would never have let you hang.
12:28I would have added toes, a hat, maybe a horse.
12:34Is this a game you played a lot?
12:35Before?
12:38I don't know.
12:41It'll come back.
12:42They're sending you home in a week.
12:44They have to think you're progressing, don't they?
12:46Physically.
12:46Well, you're making new memories just fine.
12:49Maybe I'll all like these better.
12:54Okay, play again?
12:55Can I guess two?
12:58Mrs. Nolan.
13:00I...
13:00Oh, it's noon already.
13:02I didn't realize.
13:03You should go.
13:04Good day, Miss Blanchard.
13:08Honey, I brought more pictures.
13:10Maybe it'll jog something.
13:12It's our old dog, Ajax.
13:16Remember?
13:19Yeah.
13:20Yeah, Ajax.
13:25I'm the worst person in the world.
13:28Really.
13:29In the whole world.
13:31Catherine was horrible.
13:32It'd be easier, but...
13:35She's so...
13:36Nice.
13:37And what exactly would be easier?
13:42Nothing.
13:43Nothing's a good idea.
13:44You're smart.
13:45You know, not to get involved with a married guy.
13:47It's not worth the heartache.
13:49Trust me.
13:52I'll get it.
13:58I'll get it.
13:59Kid.
14:00What happened?
14:01Come on.
14:05Archie?
14:07Archie!
14:10What did you do?
14:11You told me not to take the fantasy away.
14:14You told me it would devastate him.
14:15Of course.
14:15The therapy stops working.
14:16You just adjust it.
14:18Is it her?
14:18Did she threaten you?
14:20What could be strong enough to drown out your own conscience?
14:23I do not need to defend my professional decisions to you.
14:25Okay?
14:29Hello, Madam Mayor.
14:31Nice work.
14:31You with him?
14:32Yes, I'm with Dr. Hopper.
14:34And guess what?
14:34You left your fingerprints all over him when you tried...
14:36Not him.
14:37Henry.
14:38Is he with you?
14:40I dropped Henry at your office an hour ago.
14:43Well, he's not here.
14:46I don't know where he is.
14:49Oh.
14:51I do.
14:58I do.
15:13Here we go.
15:13I try again.
15:13Bye.
15:13I'm good.
15:36Thank you very much.
15:40And the names?
15:42To whom did these treasures belong?
15:50Gold thread for your thievery.
15:52Thank you, you can go.
15:57But you want something else, don't you?
16:03Something with...
16:08...magic?
16:12For a year I'm stuck in that damn wagon.
16:16I wanna be free, I wanna...
16:17I wanna be someone else, but...
16:19...something keeps holding me back.
16:21Something?
16:23Or someone?
16:28It's my parents.
16:32Then I have exactly what you need.
16:36This will set you free.
16:39Pour it, sprinkle it, put it in their curds and whey.
16:44Anything will work.
16:46Ah!
16:48But you have nothing more to give to me.
16:52Hmm...
16:52Tell you what.
16:54After the potion has...
16:57...done its work, leave them where they are...
17:00...and I'll come collect them.
17:02It'll be my fee.
17:04What will become of them?
17:07Worry you not.
17:10They'll be in Seahan...
17:12...and you'll be free.
17:28Henry!
17:29Henry!
17:31Henry!
17:32Henry!
17:34What do you got there, Pongo?
17:35I don't think he's here.
17:36I think he is.
17:38Candy bar.
17:39Get these with him.
18:28And he's here.
18:29There's a lot of things.
18:29It's just a long day.
18:29You're not here.
18:29I don't think he's here.
18:29It's all right.
18:29I think he's here.
18:30You're not here.
18:30You're not here.
18:31You're not here.
18:33Come on, you're here.
18:34You're here.
18:36You're here.
18:50Henry!
18:52Archie!
18:53Henry, stop safe!
18:55Henry!
18:56Henry!
18:59Archie!
19:04Archie!
19:05Henry!
19:17Henry?
19:21Henry?
19:23Archie!
19:24You're here to help me!
19:25No, Henry, listen. We gotta get out of here, okay?
19:28So you're still against me?
19:29Henry, there's no time for that. Come on, Henry, come on.
19:32You don't believe me? You'll see. You'll see.
19:34Henry! Henry, Henry, come back!
19:40Henry!
19:51Look, can't we skip this tonight?
19:54We don't need the money.
19:56Everything isn't about money, Jiminy. It's about the principle.
19:59A commitment to excellence.
20:01Excellence at stealing money.
20:03Now, go ahead and take the elf tonic, Jiminy.
20:12Oh, such beautiful young people.
20:15Pardon me.
20:17Do you have a place at your hearth for an honest man and his elderly parents?
20:23Of course.
20:24Come in.
20:25I will get some broth.
20:26Oh, we love broth.
20:27Oh, what a beautiful...
20:29Your cobbles are so even.
20:31Oh, and that's real fat.
20:32Honey, that's a big one.
20:35Thank you for your kindness.
20:38I just can't get it out of my mind.
20:40That family.
20:40Terrible way to go.
20:42Oh, what?
20:43What happened?
20:45Plague.
20:47The next town over.
20:48We just passed through.
20:50The plague.
20:51Well, a plague, certainly.
20:52Is it coming here?
20:54Are you okay?
20:54Oh, us?
20:55No, we're immune.
20:56We have elf tonic.
20:57Made by elves, from elves.
20:59Four out of five court physicians recommend it.
21:01Fifth one died before he could try it.
21:04Well, you have it, right?
21:06Smart folks like you.
21:07We've never heard of it.
21:08Oh, no.
21:08Oh, dear God.
21:09Oh, no, you're going to die.
21:10You need elf tonic.
21:11Oh, I wish we had extra.
21:13We don't have extra.
21:14There is no extra.
21:15We could pay you.
21:16We have a tiny bottle.
21:17But we need that for ourselves.
21:18What can he give you?
21:19Surely there must be something here you would want.
21:24I'm sure we could come up with something.
21:34Well, I guess we should start loading up.
21:43Here you go.
21:58Those are good people.
21:59They would never have heard us like that.
22:01And that's where they went wrong.
22:02It's better to be the kind of people that take.
22:04Instead of those that get taken from.
22:14I'm sorry.
22:17You've given me no other choice.
22:25How frail do you think we are, son?
22:27Rainwater won't hurt us.
22:30I'm pretty good at sleight of hand, Jiminy.
22:34You switched them?
22:38This was the elf tonic.
22:39Oh, my.
22:41We must have given whatever you had to that family.
22:44Oh, I hope it wasn't dangerous.
22:46Oh, my face.
22:47Oh, my?
22:49I don't.
22:49I miedo her.
22:50Bleek't.
22:56Huh?
22:58Oh, my face.
23:08Yeah.
23:09Oh, my face.
23:21Oh, look at that.
23:23New puppets for the air.
23:25Mama, Papa!
23:30Who are you?
23:39Mama, Papa!
23:41What did you do to them?
23:42What did you do to them?
23:48What did you do to them?
23:51Henry?
23:55Henry?
23:59Henry?
23:59Henry?
24:02You gotta slow down.
24:03There's something shiny down there.
24:05Henry, this is seriously dangerous.
24:07We gotta get out of here.
24:08It could be something.
24:09Henry, look at me.
24:10Look at me.
24:11I'm frightened for you, Henry.
24:13Because you think I'm crazy?
24:14No!
24:16No, because we are trapped underground in an abandoned minery, and there is no way out.
24:32Archie's smart.
24:34He will keep the boys safe until we get to them.
24:41Watch out!
24:42Stop!
24:43Stop!
24:45Stop!
24:46You're making it worse!
24:48I am trying to save him.
24:49You know why he went in there in the first place, don't you?
24:51Because you made him feel like he had something to prove.
24:53Why does he think he has anything to prove?
24:55Who's encouraging him?
24:56I will not put this on me.
24:57Oh, please, lecture me until his oxygen runs out!
25:04Henry, do you hear that?
25:07It's fungo!
25:08Oh, the noise!
25:12We have to stop this.
25:14Arguing won't accomplish anything.
25:19No, it won't.
25:22What do you want me to do?
25:25Help me.
25:28It's loud.
25:29It's over here.
25:31What's...
25:31What's this?
25:34Looks like an old elevator.
25:38We need to find some way to punch through the ground.
25:42We need something big.
25:44Like what?
25:46Explosives.
25:50Just to get the mine workers in and out.
25:52It goes all the way to the top.
25:53That's where we can hear pongo.
25:54Can we make it work?
25:58Let's give it a shot.
26:04Okay, we're all clear.
26:10Come on!
26:15Blow it.
26:53Did it work?
26:54It didn't open.
26:56Then what did it do?
27:05Have a good day.
27:07Hey!
27:09Where are you going?
27:11Home.
27:13I'm done for the day.
27:16Shouldn't you be resting?
27:17Actually, Dr. Will wants me to start physical therapy.
27:20I'm supposed to walk 30 minutes a day on a treadmill
27:22or outside with an escort.
27:25But they're kind of short on personnel
27:27because of that thing that happened at the mine.
27:29Oh.
27:32So maybe if there was a volunteer willing to help?
27:41I'm trying to remember this place.
27:45It's like...
27:46It's like I woke up in some strange land.
27:51Is anything coming back?
27:58What about when you're with her?
28:00You remember?
28:01You remember your dog?
28:04Yeah, I lied.
28:07You did?
28:09She's just so loving.
28:11I didn't want to disappoint her.
28:15None of it feels right.
28:17A dog named Ajax?
28:18Who would name a dog that?
28:21None of it makes sense.
28:22None of it...
28:25None of it feels real.
28:28That sounds lonely.
28:33Actually, one thing does feel real.
28:36You.
28:40What?
28:40You know, it's crazy.
28:41But I swear you're the only thing in this whole place
28:44that feels...
28:46that feels right.
28:55Katherine.
28:56Right.
28:57Katherine.
29:01You're here.
29:02I know it's outside of visiting hours, but, uh...
29:06I needed to see you.
29:09I made some cranberry muffins.
29:12They used to be your favorite.
29:18I should leave you, too.
29:22Mary Margaret.
29:25See you tomorrow?
29:34What was that?
29:36What the hell was that?
29:38You said you could do this.
29:39They could have killed my son.
29:42I know.
29:42But this isn't helping.
29:44If we knew exactly where they were,
29:46we could drill down to them.
29:49Maybe...
29:49maybe rig something to bring them back up.
29:52The drill where?
29:53What are you thinking?
29:55It's Archie's dog.
29:59He's found something.
30:03Look.
30:04Look.
30:05This is where they must be.
30:06What is it?
30:07Good boy.
30:09Good boy.
30:18What is that?
30:19It's an hour shift.
30:21It's an hour shift.
30:29I'm...
30:30really...
30:31really...
30:34really sorry.
30:37Sorry.
30:38I just wanted to find proof.
30:43You know, it's really alright, honey.
30:45I know.
30:46I'm sorry, too.
30:51Look, I don't think you're crazy.
30:55I just think that you've got a very strong mother
30:58who's got a...
31:00clear idea of a path that she wants you to be on.
31:03And when you step off that, she...
31:06she gets scared.
31:07And, you know, it's natural.
31:11But...
31:12it's also natural for you to be able to be free to...
31:16think the things that you want to think.
31:21So...
31:21Anyway, I didn't mean those things I said,
31:23and I never should have said them.
31:25Okay.
31:26What do I take you?
31:31I guess I'm just not a good person.
31:36I'm not the man I want to be.
31:49Okay.
31:50Alright, gun it.
31:54Alright, stop.
31:56We got it.
31:58Alright.
32:05So?
32:07What's next?
32:11I think you can be him.
32:14I think you can be a good person.
32:17I mean, you're Jiminy Cricket.
32:19Henry.
32:20Henry.
32:21Jiminy Cricket was a...
32:22He was a cricket.
32:24Okay?
32:24And he was a conscience.
32:25And I hardly think that's me.
32:27But before he was that, he was a guy
32:29who took a long time to figure out
32:32the right thing to do.
32:37That kind of sounds like me.
32:40Now it's harder for you,
32:41because of the curse.
32:44To hear the voice inside of you.
32:47To be...
32:48who you want to be.
32:49No.
33:06You need to lower someone straight down.
33:09Or the line will collapse the sides of the shaft.
33:13I've got a harness.
33:14Lower me down.
33:15Oh, no way. I'm going.
33:16He's my son.
33:20He's my son, too.
33:24You've been sitting behind a desk for ten years.
33:26I can do this.
33:33Just bring him to me.
33:51Hey.
33:52Can I ask you again?
33:54Ask what?
33:56Why do you think it's so important
33:57that your...
33:59your fairytale theory is true?
34:02I don't know.
34:04Give it a shot.
34:09Cause...
34:10this can't be all there is.
34:14I understand.
34:16I thought if I found proof.
34:20But I didn't find anything.
34:22Well, it's not true.
34:24I was lost and you found me, right?
34:26You mean, did you remember?
34:28No, I don't remember, but...
34:30I do remember...
34:32the kind of person I want to be.
34:38I just kind of listen harder.
34:46What's that?
34:48I have some rescue.
34:53You guys okay?
34:54Yeah.
34:55We're okay.
34:56Hang on, Henry.
34:58Okay, that's good stuff.
35:04There you go.
35:08Come on.
35:10I gotcha.
35:11Okay.
35:12I got it.
35:13You got it, it's safe.
35:15Archie!
35:16He's gonna fall!
35:18I'm sorry!
35:19It's okay!
35:21Archie!
35:45It's okay.
35:56I got it.
35:57Look at me.
35:58Hey!
35:59Hey!
35:59Hey!
35:59Hey!
36:01Hey!
36:18Okay, deputy, you can clear the crowd away.
36:29Thank you, Dr. Hopper.
36:32I, uh, I have something to say.
36:39I'm gonna continue to treat Henry, and I'm gonna do it my own way.
36:47My relief at his safety hasn't changed a thing, Dr. Hopper.
36:50You will do as I say, or you...
36:52Or what?
36:54You'll ruin my life?
36:55You'll do your worst?
36:59Because I will always do my best.
37:02Don't test me.
37:03Oh, I don't need to, because you're gonna leave me alone and let me do my work in peace.
37:07Really?
37:07Why is that?
37:08Because someday, Madam Mayor, you may find yourself in a custody battle.
37:13And do you know how the court determines who is a fit parent?
37:16They consult an expert, particularly one who has treated the child.
37:25So I suggest that you think about that, and you allow me to do my work, and let me do
37:34it the way my conscience tells me to.
38:07I wish.
38:31I hear your wish, you don't need to wish it so loudly, but it is not possible, I cannot
38:42bring back the boy's parents.
38:48That's my fault, I have to make it right, I would trade my life to make it happen.
38:58What's done is done, there may be another way.
39:03Tell me, please.
39:06The little boy, you will grow up to face many challenges, do you want to help him?
39:17I can't get away from these people, they're my parents, they're who I am.
39:25But if you didn't want to be that, what would you like to be?
39:47I hear your wish.
40:03How do you feel?
40:07Find the boy, Jiminy.
40:09You will live as many years as you need to help him.
40:12Just find him.
40:17His name is Geppetto.
40:29Is that Archie's father?
40:32No, they're just old friends.
40:40You really scared me.
40:42I'm sorry.
40:46Gentlemen.
40:48Well, come on.
40:49Your mom wants to take you home.
40:52Hey.
40:53Listen.
41:00Crickets.
41:01What?
41:02We're back.
41:05Things are changing.
41:08I'm a bad.
41:09I'm a bad guy.
41:23I'm a bad guy.
41:29I'm a bad guy.
41:35So
42:29Oh, yeah.
42:31Oh, yeah.
43:01Oh, yeah.
43:31Oh, yeah.
